Dororo Season 2: All We Know So Far

Osamu Tezuka (Father of Manga) poured his heart out while writing Dororo. No sooner did he introduce this masterpiece than the fans started adoring it. Moreover, he had written Dororo back in 1967-1968. Nonetheless, Mushi Production featured a black and white animated series of Dororo in 1969. Almost five decades later, Tezuka Productions and Mappa joined hands to reintroduce this masterpiece in 2019. However, the anime ran for 24 episodes without following the original manga. Hence, the enthusiasts are waiting for Dororo Season 2 since the manga can supply multiple contents. Apart from Tezuka’s original manga, Satoshi Shiki continues the manga from October 19th, 2018. The new series has had four volumes until now. Hence, the content for the second season has only increased.

Nevertheless, Osamu Tezuka’s original piece showed Hyakkimaru hunting for 48 organs. However, the 2019 anime-only depicted the animation with 12 organs. Hence, the new anime had a significant plot cut. Again, the production house could issue Dororo Season 2 while introducing the cut plots differently. Conclusively, the first season rushed the anime to an end. Thus, the possibility of a 2nd season doesn’t seem too hopeful.

Where Does Dororo Season 2 Begin in Manga?

While Dororo 1969 followed Osamu Tezuka’s original piece, the 2019 anime didn’t. Moreover, the 2019 Dororo also rushed the anime to an end. Hence, the anime has concluded the storyline with multiple plot cuts. Therefore, it’s beneficial for a viewer to read the manga from Chapter 1. Osamu Tezuka’s Dororo has four volumes comprising 19 chapters.

On the other hand, Satoshi Shiki has written four volumes and is still ongoing. Dororo Season 2 will likely depict Osamu Tezuka’s storyline. The manga isn’t officially available on any website.
